## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONT)** 

## **OBJECTIVES** 

The principal objectives for the company in the period under review were to promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the community of Ledbury and surrounding parishes; and in particular the advancement of education , the protection of health and relief of poverty distress and sickness. 

Our current objectives are to: 

- 1) Facilitate access to healthcare 

- 2) Support independent living 

- 3) Reduce loneliness 

- 4) Reduce rural isolation 

- 5) Promote wellbeing in later life through volunteering 

## **IMPACT REPORT** 

## **Facilitating access to healthcare** 

Community Voluntary Action Ledbury & District (CVALD) runs the Ring & Ride volunteer car service for Ledbury and its surrounding villages, which provides transport to people who do not have access to a car and cannot use public transport.  In total, in 22-23 the service made 3,770 journeys, a 15% increase on 21-22. 

The primary aim of the service is to help those that struggle with transport to get to medical appointments.  In 22-23 the service took 306 people to 1,800 healthcare appointments.  800 of these journeys were for hospital appointments. 

During the year we undertook a survey of users and 95%  respondents rated the Ring & Ride service as “very good” or “excellent” 

## **Supporting Independent Living** 

The charity provides a number of services aimed at helping the elderly and other vulnerable and disabled people to continue living independent lives in their own homes. These include: 

• Ring & Ride transport for shopping and other day to day necessities such as hairdressers, bank and Post Office.  During the year we took 62 people on 476 shopping journeys.  We also took 24 people to 59 hairdressing appointments. 

- Undertaking shopping for a small number of individuals who are housebound.  During the year we undertook 162 shops for 8 users 

- Delivering food parcels to users of Ledbury Foodbank.  We delivered 65 food parcels to 23 users in Ledbury 

## **Reducing loneliness** 

We know that 78% of our users are over the age of 75 and 65% live alone.  We run a programme of minibus day-trips, pub lunches and other event designed to provide an easy way for our members to get out of the house and socialise. 

During the year we ran 53 day trips, 24 pub lunches and 15 shopping trips.  In total, 114 users went on one or more of these trips.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONT)** 

## **Combating rural isolation** 

Twenty-five percent (120) of our registered members live in small villages and hamlets between two and eight miles outside of Ledbury and do not have access to a car.  These villages have few amenities and very limited public transport.   The Ring & Ride service, provide these people with an affordable and flexible transport option. 

We also run a weekly Community Bus serving a isolated Park Home retirement village. 

## **Promoting wellbeing in later life through volunteering** 

During 22-23, CVALD’s services were delivered by 71 volunteers, 68 of whom are retired. In total, we estimate that these volunteers completed over 6,300 hours of service during the year. 

## **Fundraising** 

During the year we received donations and grants from the following organisations whose invaluable support we gratefully acknowledge: 

Arnold Clarke Foundation Baron Davenport’s Charity DMF Ellis Charitable Trust Eveson Trust Garfield Weston Herefordshire Council Ledbury Town Council Matthew Wrightson Charity Trust A N McKechnie Foundation National Lottery Community Fund Schroder Charity Trust Sir Jules Thorn Trust (Ann Rylands) Sir Robert McAlpine Trust Trefoil Trust WED Charitable Trust Woodroffe Benton Foundation WO Street Charitable Trust

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONT)** 

## **FINANCIAL REPORT** 

## **Income** 

The total income for 2022-23 was £241,008 an increase of £65,549 on the previous year.  This was attributable to significant increases in Trust Fund income, user cost recovery fees and home-toschool contract income. 

## **Expenditure** 

Total expenditure was £216,838 (£188,573 in 2021-22), an increase of £28,265.   This was primarily due to increases in the following: 

- volunteer driver expenses, in proportion to the increase in number of journeys); 

- minibus fuel costs due to the Ukrainian conflict; 

- staff wages to address the increase in the cost of living. 

## **Reserves** 

It is the policy of the trustees to maintain reserves as follows: 

## **Restricted funds** 

These are funds ring-fenced by funders for specific projects/purposes and cannot be used for other purposes. At year end these restricted funds amounted to £67,535 

## **Unrestricted funds** 

Unrestricted reserves are held for financing the future operation of the charity. These reserves are divided into designated reserves and the general fund. It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain sufficient designated reserves to cover all liabilities in the event the charity is wound up. At the end of the year the designated fund stood at £46,220. The general fund stands at £88,623  (£65,400 in 2021-22), bringing the total unrestricted reserves to £134,842 (£112,852 in 2021-22). 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have considered the financial position of the charity and concluded it is a going concern, remains solvent and is able to fulfil its financial commitments. 

## **Induction of new trustees** 

On appointment the trustees receive a copy of the governing documents and Charity Commission documents regarding trusteeship. New trustees are briefed on the history, background and work of the charity.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of Community Voluntary Action Ledbury and District Limited** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. 

The charity's Trustees (who are also the Directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to: i) keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006, and ii)  prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities, have not been met
